DO IT NOW!!!!

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS MY BELIEFS & I PRAY THAT NOTHING I SAID OFFENDS ANYONE! IF ANYTHING I PRAY THAT SOMEONE IS ENCOURAGED & THAT GOD QUICKENS YOUR HEART TO FIND HIM AND ACCEPT THE PLAN OF SALVATION, SO THEY MAY BE SAVED. *****IF YOU BECOME OFFENDED I DO APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE BLESSING ON YOU NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED ON MY COMMENT BLOCK***   A LOT OF TIMES WE FEEL LIKE WE WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT TO DO SOMETHING!OR EITHER WE PUT IT OFF UNTIL WE HAVE NO CHOICE TO DO WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSE TO DO!   I LEARNED THAT ISAIAH TRIED TO PUT OFF WHAT GOD TOLD HIM TO DO. *BY USING EXCUSES* IN ISAIAH CHP 6 VERSE 1-8 ISAIAH FELT UNWORTHY TO DO WHAT GOD TOLD HIM. THE LORD HAD TO SHOW HE IN A VISION THAT HE WAS WORTHY OF THE WORK HE WAS ASSIGNED. AN ANGEL CAME AND TOUCHED HIS LIPS BECAUSE HE WAS A MAN OF SINFUL LIPS! THE ANGEL TOUCHED THEM AN HE CAME PURGED OF HIS SIN & CLEAN OF HIS INIQUITY. WE OFTEN DONT DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD BECAUSE WE LET SMALL THINGS TRIP US UP! *OUR WEIGHT* I HAVE DECIDED TO START DOING WHAT I PLANNED ON DOING AFTER I LOST THE WEIGHT! TOMRROW IS NOT PROMISED TO ANY OF US! WELL ACTUALLY THE NEXT HOUR ISNT PROMISED IF YOU ASKED ME!! ALL IM SAYING IS DONT WAIT UNTIL THIS OR THAT DO IT NOW!! PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK! DONT WAIT FOR ANYBODY TO GIVE THEIR APPROVAL!!!

1st Consult went well

11-10-06:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: I was an hour late I got lost I couldnt find my way out of a one way bldg!!   Met with Dr. Rivas he was AWESOME!! His whole attitude was great! He gave me helpful information and he said I would be a perfect canidate for the surgery! I met with the diet lady she was cool she gave me a diet plan for pre-op and post-op and get this I dont have to do a strict pre-op diet. I met with the insurance lady she started off being mean but I killed her with kindness and she came to herself. I met the nurse she was so kind and soft spoken, she said she would be with me step by step. I left the office floating I cant even describe the feeling that came over me.   11-14-06:( Got a call from Scott the finance guy and he said I need to get more history from the pcp and ob-gyn.????? I left there thinking I had it all together and no one said anything about additional information. I got very upset that I didnt have it together, I didnt want to wait any longer for approval but I guess I have to.   11-15-06:nervous So far I have emailed the lady for more history at the OB. office now I have to call my doctor for my 8months trail diet crap! Not sure why that wasnt sent over from her with the referral?? I'm thinking maybe I should wait until Jan to get the surgery United Healtcare wont send me through all of this mess I hope not!!

I have to wait until I get approved.:bathbaby: I thought about what I would look like at 200 pounds and I got excited! I think if it will put me at a size 16 or less *Im in a 20 right now* I guess my goal weight of 160 will put me in a 12/14 or 10/11 ??? Man I hope I dont lose all of my curves hips,juciy booty etc...... I wonder if my 44 G's will go flat *they are fluffy right now???* I wonder what kind of guys will try and go after me now??:nervous Will I still have strech marks on my tummy? I wonder if the inside of my thighs will still touch at 200 pounds or 160?? AM I crazy for wanting to know all of these answers????:biggrin1: :biggrin1:
